3/15/2020 – HAL, Coronavirus, drinks, dinner

Sunday

Slow start to the day. Read NYTimes Sunday edition on paper. Cancelled tennis date with Ted because it only got to 42 degrees. Went to Carol Pledger’s house on East Allen for a get together with Emily and Lisa Dolan. Just a check in about library matters. Friday’s announcement of program and event cancellations graduated to a full shut down on Wednesday 3/18 thru the end of the month. Lots of talk about the coronavirus pandemic. The Hudson City School District announced their closing so we followed suit.

225 Warren Bar & Grill

Texted Dave Drake about drinks at Swoon. It closed at 4pm so we met for a drink at 225 at 4:30pm. Only 5 or so people at the bar. We practiced social distancing at the end of the bar.

Came back to 114 for a dinner of bacon and gruyere quiche with spinach and asparagus. Talked about memories of family, cousins,…. he left about 8pm. We listened to music before another chapter of Major Crimes.

Friday – 3/3/2017

Weighed 230. Noticed my notecard dating back to 2009 showed me at 260. Odd loss of weight. Though, I have noticed that I have been indulging in less face stuffing moments. Maybe peanut butter is the key. 

HAL mtg. 

Went to library about noon. Mtg w Emily Chameides, Carol Pledger, & Brenda Shufelt about volunteer processes. Stopped on way home to talk with Tessy Keller about her dealing with volunteers. She asked for help with ticketing system. 

Drove to Albany for dinner and movie with Anita Harris. Snow squalls along the way. Dinner at Van’s followed by Iranian movie The Salesman. A bit slow, melodramatic but also not aHollywood movie.
